You cannot complain bout sexism while also consistently generalizing men and calling them all disgusting pigs.

@graphite Women are smarter, more compassionate, able to manage multiple tasks more proficiently AND they can perpetuate the human race....and men....well, we're better at starting wars....can't beat us at that...

@originnone More compassionate? 🤣 Men build and maintain the infrastructure (sewer and water distribution facilities, electric generation, construction, road building and on and on and on.) Yes it's now Women vs. Men instead of Women + Men. It won't end well. Meanwhile...
https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/history-says-that-female-leaders-are-more-likely-to-wage-war-than-men

Excerpt: Researchers from the University of Chicago studied European rulers between 1480 and 1913, and found that European queens were[b] 27% more likely to wage war[/b] than kings, with married queens the most likely to go to battle.

...Remember Margaret Thatcher leading the UK to war in 1982 to take back the Falkland Islands, which, for some reason are still British territory despite being off the coast of Argentina? Wouldn't such a compassionate person have decided, "Hey, we don't belong here anymore" and spotted the place to Argentina?

@graphite Well, I got to your second word....I'll start there....Yes, more compassionate. I'm guessing just about any mother would be much more reluctant to send her son to a war than the men who were in charge and did.

@originnone Every time I log onto a YouTube thread about child abuse, there's stories about people battered by their mothers. Such compassion. As far as intelligence, who devised the theory of relativity, etc? From wikipedia: "There is no statistically significant difference between the average IQ scores of men and women. Average differences have been reported, however, on some tests of mathematics and verbal ability in certain contexts."

@graphite Dream on, man. The eye in the sky don't lie.

@graphite Children don't do well raised by women in general. Children raised by single mothers are much more likely to end up in prison, whereas those raised by single fathers are on par with those raised by intact couples as far as incarceration rates go.

@IronHamster ....in a society with constraints established by....yep....men

@originnone Suicides: 80% men. Homeless: 80% men. Child custody: 85% women. College students: 60% women. Those required to sign up for potential military service: 100% men. Work-related deaths: 93% men. Longer life spans: Women. More hours working: Men. Aint male privilege great?

@IronHamster Yes, I'm aware of all this. But good luck to the man who wants custody of his children. He's almost certain to not get it. I heard of a story of a guy who was a stay-at-home dad; his wife divorced him, easily got custody of the kid he raised full time, and then moved the kid cross-country. He went from stay-at-home dad to absent dad. And if he gets hit with child support payments beyond what he can afford, he'll be labeled a "deadbeat dad" and thrown in jail. Hail to the patriarchy!

@graphite

@iamonfire696 Yes, precisely. Men bring up issues: Called whiners, told to man up, laughed at, dismissed. Women bring up issues: Congressional committee formed to address the "crisis." Remember when Obama formed a White House Commission on Women and Girls but refused to form one for men and boys? Male privilege again. 🤣

@graphite yes men have it so hard 🙄

@iamonfire696 Yes, we know...

Washington Post:
A silent crisis in men’s health gets worse
Across the life span -- from infancy to the teen years, midlife and old age -- boys and men are more likely to die than girls and women

The Washington Post, By Tara Parker-Pope and Caitlin Gilbert, April 17, 2023

A silent crisis in men’s health is shortening the life spans of fathers, husbands, brothers and sons.

For years, the conventional wisdom has been that a lack of sex-specific health research mainly hurts women and gender minorities. While those concerns are real, a closer look at longevity data tells a more complicated story.

[b]Across the life span — from infancy to the teen years, midlife and old age — the risk of death at every age is higher for boys and men than for girls and women.

The result is a growing longevity gap between men and women. In the United States, life expectancy in 2021 was 79.1 years for women and 73.2 years for men[/b]

The supposedly privileged, have-it-easy gender dies many years sooner? How could that be?

@graphite That's kind of just a biological fact....like the fact that mothers are generally better at raising their children than fathers.

@originnone I didn’t read any of his whiny posts because that’s time I will never get back.

@originnone Yet children of single fathers seem to do better than children of single mothers. Some alarming stats herein:

@graphite So....millions of years of evidence through the entire history of evolution is refuted by your little internet link.

Listen, dude...you may be an outstanding father and may have been shafted by legal precedent. For that I'm sorry.

@originnone Present your million years of evidence. Go ahead. (Obviously, we'd prefer children be with [i]both[/i] parents. Not just one.)

@graphite I'll leave to to you to look up all the cute pictures on the internet of cubs with their mothers.... and stuff like that! LOL

@originnone So you [i]don't have [/i]any evidence. Noted. 🤣

@graphite No. I have no evidence that in all the history of evolution the young are almost always raised by their mothers. You win....

@originnone In human history, a child raised by a single mother died of starvation unless she was a really good whore. With no social safety net, it's a pretty sure bet children were raised by, at least, two parent families.

@IronHamster I'm with you, Fe....."In human history...." But we aren't living in history. I'm looking only at the current situation.

@originnone If you want to look at the current situation, humanity has barely existed for a tick of the clock in the astrological timeline.

@IronHamster That's true from a perspective of the life of the universe, but I'm looking only at that small segment of the lifetime of humanity.
